It only takes 16-17 working hours to manage one mu of rice.The speed of transformation and promotion of scientific and technological achievements is very fast. Taking precision agriculture as an example, it took only about 5 years for the whole country to be basically promoted. Now 85% of the agricultural areas in the United States have implemented precision agriculture.

The U.S. agricultural population accounts for 2% of the U.S. population, about 400 million, and the population serving agricultural production accounts for 15% of the U.S., including scientific research, extension, education, production and operation of production equipment and production materials, marketing, etc., becoming a powerful force for farmers backing.

The federal government of the United States invests USD 50 billion in agricultural research, promotion, and education every year, with an average annual growth rate of 8%. A large part of these funds is directly allocated to universities.At the same time, rural junior and senior high schools in the United States have agricultural education courses, and even some agricultural-related courses are offered in kindergartens.

It is a very good choice for Dong Shanhe to do agriculture in California, because California is simply an agricultural paradise. If Dong Shanhe didn’t know about it before he came, he would never have thought that California would be a big agricultural state. Dong Shanhe used to think that California had only What about Hollywood?

"Smith, today we are mainly going to Silicon Valley to register a company. You can handle this matter. As for the capital of the company, let's set a capital of 1000 million US dollars first." Dong Shanhe and Smith chatted while drinking coffee.

But when Smith heard that Dong Shanhe planned to grow vegetables and fruits in Silicon Valley, he was as motionless as a wax figure.

Smith was really defeated by Dong Shanhe's unconstrained style.

"Smith, why are you like this? I have thought about it many times before I came here. I think this project is worth developing. Let me ask you, is there any pure natural and pollution-free organic agriculture near Silicon Valley?"

Smith's original frown relaxed. He really thought that Dong Shanhe was talking casually. If this was the case, he should resign as soon as possible. With such a boss, he would die sooner or later.

"Yes, but very few and these farms are very small, basically they are planted by people inside their company."

"Smith, if you have tasted the fruits and vegetables I grow, you won't have this expression, but it's a pity that when I came to the United States, I didn't bring some fruits and vegetables, otherwise it will definitely surprise you Yes." Dong Shanhe has absolute confidence in his own fruits and vegetables, not to mention the fruits and vegetables that have been optimized by the space psychic liquid, even the vegetables that grow in the space are better than the vegetables and fruits grown in the current society much.

You must know that there is not so much pollution in the space. Everything is pure natural, and there is no trace of human life. Everything is as it was tens of thousands of years ago. The things there are absolutely natural and pollution-free organic agriculture.

"Boss, I don't doubt your planting standards, but you have to know that this is America, not Huaxia." Although Smith didn't say it, Dong Shanhe understood the meaning of his words. Although Huaxia has developed a lot in recent years, the air pollution, These problems of food hygiene are also frequent, even in the United States.

"Smith, don't worry, since you set up a company in the United States, you must meet the standards of the United States, and not only meet the standards of the United States, but also far exceed them." Big guy likes it.

But the only pity is that it is already March, and even if we plant vegetables now, we still have to wait for more than a month to harvest them.

"Boss, as long as you are happy!" Seeing Dong Shanhe's angry look, Smith knew that he didn't listen to his own words.

Smith felt that it would be best for Dong Shanhe to make a somersault. When he does, he will understand that this is America, not China, and everything is not that simple.

"Smith, my plan is like this. Today we will go to Silicon Valley to set up a company, and then the day after tomorrow we will go to Longteng Winery, take over there, and renovate the two places. The outside will be fenced and modernized. I want to build a comprehensive and intelligent high-tech agriculture. After all this is done, we will buy some land near Silicon Valley and plant some vegetables and fruits here. The area does not need to be too large, about a thousand acres will do. , After all, this is our test field, and after we succeed, we will start staking the land.” Dong Shanhe first told Smith what he planned to do in California.

"After we finish our work in California, we will go to Montana to buy a ranch there and raise some dairy and beef cattle. I know you Americans like to eat beef and milk very much. Since the company is going to do a comprehensive Agricultural companies can’t let go of these. In the end, we will go to Texas to buy some farms. In California, we will do planting, fruits, vegetables and red wine. In Montana, we will do animal husbandry. Can’t do this?” Dong Shanhe asked bluntly, if 15 billion US dollars is not enough, it doesn’t matter if he spends some more.

Smith was shocked by the blueprint drawn by Dong Shanhe. It was the first time he had heard of Dong Shanhe's ambitious goal. Smith thought about his views on Dong Shanhe two days ago, and now it seems that it is really true. too ridiculous.

Whether it can be achieved is one thing, but when you have money, you want to start a career and are willing to invest in it. This requires great courage and courage. Smith asked himself that he did not have the courage and courage.

"Boss, 15 billion US dollars is enough. Everything needs to be developed step by step. Even if you invest 100 billion US dollars, you can't spend it all in a month." Smith quickly stopped Dong Shanhe's thoughts of continuing to spend money.
